"There's nothing that says the same entity has to run care for the entire Medicaid population," Williamson told the Joint Legislative Committee on Medicaid Policy at the Capitol Tuesday.
Williamson is the head of a state commission the governor appointed to reform Medicaid, with an eye toward cutting the program's costs. A joint federal-state program, Medicaid provides health insurance to Alabamians living below the poverty line. The state's share of the program, projected to cost $603 million this year, has increased significantly since the 2008 economic crash.
Williamson's group, the Medicaid Advisory Commission, has until February to come up with a plan to revamp the program. So far discussions have revolved around two options: turning Medicaid over to a commercial, for-profit managed care organization or creating a similar managed care program based on non-profit community health organizations.
But it's not clear that legislators will go for either of those options. Tuesday's meeting of the Joint Medicaid Policy Committee was the first meeting legislators have held on the topic in months. Some lawmakers indicated they wanted more options.
Committee chairman Rep. Greg Wren, R-Montgomery, said leaders in the House and Senate had a plan that included capping the total cost of Medicaid as a percentage of the General Fund and clamping down on fraud and abuse in order to cut costs. Both are options Republican leaders in the Legislature had mentioned early in the Medicaid reform process.
"Gone will be the years of simply feeding the Medicaid budget … with the assumption there's nothing the state can do" to cut costs, Wren said.
The Medicaid Advisory Commission has worked on the assumption that costs will be capped, but no specific numbers for a cap have been proposed. Williamson said the Medicaid Agency will soon take bids for an independent auditor to root out Medicaid fraud. Still, he said, it's the increase in enrollment, rather than fraud, that is the source of the program's rising cost.
Rep. Rod Scott, D-Fairfield, wondered whether the two proposed options — both of them forms of managed care — were really the only two possible solutions.
"Are we really laying out the options that we have?" he asked, saying there might be additional alternatives the committee hasn't considered.
Williamson said the state may not be faced with a choice between the managed care and community care approaches. The state could set both systems, he said, to cover different parts of the state.
Medicaid patients in Florida are offered a choice of care plans, said Tarren Bragdon, chief executive officer of the Foundation for Government Accountability, a Florida-based conservative think tank.
Bradgon presented the committee with a plan to open up a similar multi-provider marketplace in Alabama.
Florida's system "is agnostic about the type of plan that's best for the patient," he said, saying it was better for clients to make that decision.
Increasing revenue to pay for the program is an option that, so far, has seen little support. A bill filed last year would have boosted cigarette taxes by $1 per pack, a sum that supporters said would have filled the Medicaid hole. That bill failed, but a similar, smaller cigarette tax is proposed in a bill now pre-filed in the Legislature.
The legislative session begins Feb. 5, by which time the Medicaid Advisory Commission is expected to have a reform proposal. So far, the commission has not had a clear idea of how much money would be saved by either proposed reform option.
The commission asked for estimates on both proposals, and may hear those proposals at a meeting this afternoon.

Just got back from Carsten Institute and am admiring my beautiful hair. It's the best cut, style, and color I've seen in MANY years including when I've spent much more at higher-end salons. Reut Narboni is the student that worked on my hair. She was fast, extremely competent and personable and the shampoo was DIVINE. I'm a tender-head so I usually begin to cringe when I head to the sink wondering what I'm going to suffer through. I wish it lasted an hour! I had time to spare when she finished (I have very thick curly hair). She was a whiz with the blow dryer and I couldn't be more pleased.
ALL SIGNS POINT TO YES!! I love love love this Institute. I am a proud graduate from Carsten Institute! If it werent for the amazing teachers who not only demonstrate yet more importantly inspire I wouldnt be where I am today. This school has taught me that I am capable to conquer and attain every last one of my dreams in becoming a succesful hair dresser. I have been able to turn my talent into a successful, rewarding, exciting career. Its something that I look forward to everyday because I have the confidence in knowing that I can take someone from point A and transform them to point B! I remember my first day in intro class and I can honestly say that I wasnt the least bit nervous because the intro teacher Ms. Liz made me feel so comfortable and assured me that if I kept practing I would get the hang of it and eventually put my own twist to it...thats when I got excited. Anytime I had a question about mixing color or needed my hair cut checked Mr. B or Ms. AnnMarie were always there to guide me through it and back me up. They are so encouraging and always made my day brighter! I always knew that I could go to Miss Gloria with any questions or problems because she treated each and every situation in a very fair way and always wanted to see not only the clients happy but her students aswell. Ms Charmaine and Ms Briana both instilled in me the importance of taking my attendence seriously and would remind me how vital it is that I always stay busy. Carolina who is the front desk manager is one of the greatest examples to me because she always had a huge smile on her face and her number one goal is to make sure everything is functioning accordingly. Bernice and Emilio both handle the financial aid and worked with me so that I was able to make payments which fit my financial plan. Although I never had Ms Ruthie as a teacher she always had a smile on and loves to dance and get the students excited to be at school. This school will always be one of the best things thats ever happened to me because it has allowed me to take my natural talent and passion and mold it with the professional training that Carsten has to offer. I highly reccomend that any person young or old take their styling dreams and enroll here because the possibilities are endless :) :) :) :)
Had my hair cut twice here. FIrst time...the student was really timid so it took awhile to get through the cut. The second time....was a little faster.
Both times the instructor was there to make sure things didn't get away from the student....
I got a decent haircut for cheap, and it helped someone so how could it be a bad thing?
great education! – Love Carsten Institute! I'm a student who just graduated from here and coming here was such an experience. From coming in to not knowing how to hold shears correctly and knowing nothing about color, I am proud to say I just got hired as an color assistent at a top salon. The teachers were always there and helpful to every student not to also mention the instructors push you to strive for the best and can be strict but it was always for the best! I had my days but in the end the 8 months I had in Carsten was amazing and would recommend others who want to persue their career in cosmotology to come here.
AVOID! – I paid for a cut and two color.. Asked for a lighter color, after 3hrs it came out the same as I came in with. They had to go it over again and since it was close to closing time they rushed it and it was horrible. I asked for a refund and the rude lady (and I use the term losely) told me that I cant get a refund as they did two color. I told them it was one color did twice. I gave up and told them they lost a customer and a few furture customer. Very unprofessional people.. NEVER AGAIN!
Great place to go! – Thank you for everything I got from Carsten Aveda Institute. and all my lovely professional teachers,They are not only intructor to sharing their knowlage,skills and experiences
all Carsten Aveda Institute staff love they are doing,and professional
I really do appreciate
I was so happy and get excited every time I go to school to learn and do hair
I love my beauty school so much
Carsten Aveda Institute can make me feel so comfortable and just like my 2nd home
Carsten Aveda Institute is more than beauty school ofcourse
I got more than I expected and they are so priceless
I am feel so confidence for my great future in the beauty business that i love to do
An Absolutely Fantastic Place! – For all those New Yorkers who are saavy and know where to look for your best deals in this city, Carsten Institute is your place to go! I have been a faithful client for the past five years now and NEVER have I had one complaint about them. As soon as I step foot inside the salon, I'm greeted very kindly by the receptionist (who knows me by name now of course) and quickly accomodated to the first available stylist. I know hair. I have very difficult and unruly hair, and not to mention the fact that I have colored it every color in the spectrum. The supervision bestowed on the students from their chaperoning teachers is very evident, with them walking up and down the aisles assisting any student with a question. I have been very blond. I have been golden blond. Never had an issue and always had different stylists! However, there is an issue. People such as the one below seem to forget that CARSTEN INSTITUTE..IS AN INSTITUTE. A school is going to have students that are novices at their craft, yet the key is the correct supervision and education, which I must say has most definitely been instilled. The student must design a "headsheet" or in other words a blueprint for the angles of the haircut. These aren't just haircuts done on a simple whim! Also, stylists always need some visual aid in order to accomplish the desired look. This is necessary so as to better convey what can get lost in verbal communication.
I never intend to offend, however @ 9111I'd like to share some thoughts. You are a very seemingly boorish and racist with your mindless slurs. Honestly you should contemplate what you will say before it exits your mouth. The fact that anyone is Russian plays no particular role in her interaction with you. If you utilized it as an identifier, you should try and find out her name first. Secondly, if you have such high, and meticulous standards for as how your hair should be cared for, then your best bet is not to go to a cosmetology SCHOOL for your services. If I am not mistaken, you sign a waiver as a sign of your consenting to be treated by a student. You are clearly aware that if anything is to occur if befalls on your shoulders, not theirs. They are there to learn, and you are a client AND a model. Management has always treated me in the most impeccable manner and I have seen them deal with difficult customers such as yourself a few times. Quite frankly I don't know what you expect back if you're not content. Your refund and a scratch-off? or a free car? She gave you back what you initially gave her so you could use that money at your discretion in seeking services that you wouldn't be able to find elsewhere for that price.
If you want to get a fabulous hair experience, you must do the following and I promise you you will not regret it!
1) Come with an open attitude, and also a bit of patience, and good humour.
2) Bring pictures of exactly what you want. If there is no exact match for it.. bring one that shows the color and another that shows the cut you'd like. That helps them a great deal!
3) Make sure that your hair is healthy and strong enough for whatever chemical processing (hair coloring, perming, or relaxing) If you have fine hair, or very few hair strands on your head, it's probably not advisable to get triple color processes (i.e. to be blond)
4) Make nice, constructive suggestions. A nasty client may intimidate the student and perhaps influence the outcome of your haircut !
5) Relax! and enjoy the kind treatment of the (usually) outgoing, chatty, eager to learn stylists! They give FANTASTIC ( dare I say miraculous because they scamper my headaches away!) scalp massages during shampoos, and weather-defying blowdry's!
Lastly, it is a business, and a very good one at that. You can't find service of that calibre anywhere in NYC at those prices! Especially using the Earth-friendly and brilliant products of Aveda! It's totally a win-win. You're hair and wallet will be VERY happy! =D
ATTITUDE of Staff AND MANAGEMENT!!! – PEOPLE - YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!! IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR HAIR AND EMOTIONS INTACT!!!! ESPECIALLY BLONDES - KEEP GOING TO A GOOD SALON OR YOUR TRUSTED HAIRSTYLIST AND YES, PAYING MORE MONEY BUT YOU WON'T HAVE YOUR HAIR SERIOUSLY MESSED UP!!!
I recently went to Carsten Institute to have root touch-up only. I ended up with severely damaged hair - my hair is falling, breaking and severely dry because their senior and best student triple processed my hair!!! Manager, Gloria offered to give 3 deep treatments, but their RECEPTIONIST'S ATTITUDE and BEHAVIOR was SO HORRENDOUS that I eventually changed my mind to go there again!!! She DID NOT WANT AND DID NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT by ignoring me and giving me orders like "GO, have a seat!". Nobody tells me what I should or should not do. She CLEARLY DOES NOT BELONG IN THAT POSITION. She called another Russian woman, who too, had the same rotten attitude. Management, including the director of the school herself, covered her staff up and made it clear that she did not care and that she was going to keep those employees because "everybody is happy with them." By reading previous reviews it is clear to me that a LOT OF PEOPLE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THAT SAME RECEPTIONIST AND THEIR OBNOXIOUS STAFF!!! All she offered me was to refund my money and advised me to go to salons to do treatments with that refunded $50. Which salon will do treatments for $50? Has anyone heard something this absurd? I will never EVER go to this place again and would highly recommend to anyone not to use their services. Clue: They have NO services to offer. However, they can certainly give you ROTTEN ATTITUDE, ATTACK YOU, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MAKE SURE YOU GO TO THEIR SCHOOL WITH FULL HEAD OF HAIR AND WALK OUT OF IT WITH NONE!!! P.S. Director did not want me to write a review even fearing that her business is going to hurt. It's OK for them to hurt you, but it's NOT OK for you to share your horrible experience with the rest of the world. PEOPLE, BE CAREFUL OF THIS SCHOOL. GO TO SOME OTHER SCHOOL OR HAVE YOUR HAIR DONE ELSEWHERE.
So satisfied!!!! – I went to Carsten today with a scruffy ponytail and left with a Heidi Klum shag bob and it looks great! In addition the customer service by the entire staff was superb. My stylist Alexis recently graduated and she did my hair because all the students had a meeting. Alexis was very friendly, personable and extremely skilled! All I did was show her a black and white picture and she manifested it perfectly. I will be back again and plan to refer a few friends. Alexis you rock!
Loving It!!! – An amazing $50+ cut and color experience.
Just like the other reviews said, you call for an appt. Once you get there pay for the service and be ready to tip in cash. My appt was at 830am and started after a 5 minute wait.
Megan did my cut and color and complimentary manicure. She seemed nervous at first but was engaging and professional a lil while after. She asked me what I wanted in terms of cut and color then made her own suggestion. She drew the sectioning and cut technique and sought the approval of one of the senior stylists. She also discussed the color process with her mentor.
Throughout the cut and color, the senior stylists walked around and examined what was being done to my hair and with Megan, they only had a few sections to correct in terms of cut...to think she was 19yrs old! :)
The only thing I'm not jumping up and down abt is the manicure bec it was sloppy, probably bec she had an exam to rush off too. But hey, it didn't ruin the experience since I was there for a new do and not my nails.
I was so happy with my experience that I got her nbr so she could give me a retouch when she graduates in May.

As the world faces increasing environmental and economic challenges, Siemens is helping to ensure a balanced energy mix with sustainable solutions that focus on energy-efficient fossil power and clean, renewable energy.
The wind industry, in particular, is playing a pivotal role in achieving a balanced energy mix in the United States. In 2012, wind energy was – for the first time ever – the number one source of new electricity generation capacity. More wind power capacity was installed in the U.S. than any other form of power generation.
As a market leader in wind power technology, Siemens is proud to announce our latest wind project with MidAmerican Energy Company in Iowa. We will supply 448 wind turbines that will generate 1,050 megawatts of wind power for roughly 317,000 Iowa households. Upon completion, wind will account for approximately 39 percent of MidAmerican Energy's generation portfolio. This project further demonstrates the great potential of clean, renewable power generation in America.
In addition to wind power, Siemens' technologies are increasing the efficiency of conventional power plants, enabling a more reliable power supply with smart grids, and providing energy-efficient solutions for buildings and industry. In 2012, as a result of Siemens' sustainable technologies, we helped our customers save 332 million metric tons of CO2 globally.
Siemens is continually pushing innovation in wind power technology. Our highly efficient, robust and reliable wind turbines meet both energy and environmental needs, as well as drive down the cost of wind power.
Wind turbines from Siemens feature rotor blades tailored to the requirements of the market at all stages of development. The latest revolution – the aeroelastically tailored blade (ATB) – is designed to absorb high wind gusts, which allows for greater energy capture and longer system lifetime.
To further strengthen our commitment to innovation, Siemens has established a research and development center for wind power in Boulder, Colorado.
Siemens has nearly 5,000 wind turbines installed at wind farms throughout the U.S., including Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington State.
Our newest wind projects illustrate Siemens' successful track record and leadership in supplying reliable, cost effective and energy efficient wind power technology.
In 2013, Siemens received an order from the U.S. public utility Portland General Electric for the supply and installation of 116 wind turbines at the Tucannon River Wind Farm in Washington State. The wind farm, when it comes online in 2015, will supply nearly 84,000 American households with ecofriendly electricity.
Siemens has also received a contract from The National Nuclear Security Administration to construct the federal government's largest wind farm at the Pantex Plant in Amarillo, Texas. The wind farm's five turbines will generate annual energy savings on average of $2.8 million and will supply more than 60 percent of the annual electricity required for Pantex.
Recently, Siemens completed the largest D3 platform installation in the world at the Bison IB, II and III Wind Energy Centers in North Dakota. The 85 wind turbines will provide clean electricity to more than 75,000 homes in Minnesota.
The positive economic impact of these projects is helping to revive communities, states and the U.S. as a whole.
Siemens' advances in technology and services are supporting the growth of the next energy boom and are playing a key role in the expansion of the wind industry in the U.S.
As the wind industry develops, it is creating new jobs throughout the U.S. Siemens is contributing to this job growth with the creation of more than 50 jobs at the recently opened Siemens Wind Service Training Center in Orlando, Florida.
The center, which will serve all of the Americas, provides wind technicians with highly advanced technical and safety training for the installation, service and maintenance of wind turbines.
The American manufacturing sector will also benefit from the production of the 448 new wind turbines for the MidAmerican Energy wind expansion project. The rotor blades will be produced at Siemens' facility in Fort Madison, Iowa, while the nacelles and hubs will be assembled at Siemens' facility in nearby Hutchinson, Kansas.
Fossil fuels also remain an important part of maintaining a stable energy network in the U.S. and it is crucial to use these scarce resources as efficiently as possible.
Gas turbines, combined cycle power plants, and combined heat and power plants all contribute to energy efficiency in fossil power generation. With a capacity of 375 megawatts, Siemens has produced the world's most efficient gas turbine. Siemens will supply two gas turbine packages for the Mississippi Power Company, which will be installed in a coal-fired integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant in Liberty, Mississippi. Approximately 65 percent of the turbines' CO2 emissions are expected to be captured. The plant is expected to go into operation in 2014.
In El Segundo, California, Siemens has inaugurated a new Flex-Plant for the U.S. power company NRG Energy. The project offers an environmentally compatible solution that has extremely short startup times and is low on startup emissions and water usage. The plant opened in September, 2013, and is now the second Flex-Plant to have opened in California – following the Lodi plant, which began commercial operation last year. The power islands have a total installed capacity of 550 megawatts, and have the potential to supply 450,000 Californian households.
Reliable and low-loss transmission is an important element of sustainable energy usage. Siemens energy management systems ensure the continuous reliability of one-third of all transmission grids in the U.S.
The transmission of power over great distances with the high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system is both energy-efficient and environment-friendly. HVDC minimizes power losses and line costs of overhead lines for distances longer than 600 kilometers.
Siemens supplies high-voltage direct current technology for projects all over the world. Notable examples in the U.S. are the Neptune Project, a power highway between New Jersey and New York, and the Trans Bay Cable Project in the San Francisco bay area. For the latter, Siemens implemented its HVDC PLUS technology for the first time. The key advantages of the new HVDC PLUS link are its increased network security and reliability due to network upgrades and reduced system losses.
Smart grid technology is another example of low-loss transmission and smart distribution. Smart grids enable a more efficient, reliable and secure power supply: Research has shown that by 2020, more than one billion tons of CO2 emissions could be abated with the use of intelligent power networks.
The Hawaiian Electric Company is embarking on a project to develop a self-healing grid that will provide reliable electricity to eastern Oahu and Waikiki. This smart grid project will prove it possible to satisfy Hawaii's growing energy needs without expensive construction and expansion in a fragile environment. Siemens will be contributing latest technologies to modernize the energy distribution infrastructure of eastern Oahu. An interactive, digitized, intelligent electric grid vision is becoming reality for Oncor, the largest distribution and transmission company in Texas. Oncor's smart grid will connect power providers and customers to improve reliability in the deregulated Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market and provide services across the Oncor system.
Electric cars have low emissions. By integrating electric vehicles into the smart grid, they become a part of the energy system instead of simply consuming energy. During peak power generation times – for example periods of strong wind or intense sunshine – electric vehicles store energy which is returned to the grid in times of high demand. The interaction of renewable energies and sustainable mobility has great potential of becoming electromobility's most important contribution toward climate protection.
Electric cars are quiet, clean and sustainable. One million electric cars will be on the road in the U.S. by 2015. Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Jose, California, are the pioneering cities here and they will pass their experience on to other urban areas. The U.S. government plans to invest $140 billion and become the world's leader in electromobility. Siemens is actively involved in a variety of activities in the field of electromobility and covers the entire process chain – from developing intelligent infrastructure solutions and charging technologies to researching the requisite drive technologies.
Buildings offer immense potential for energy conservation in the U.S.: They are responsible for 40 percent of our energy consumption and 21 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Intelligent building technology positively impacts the energy efficiency, the conservation as well as the comfort of buildings, while also raising the productivity of occupants and companies.
Siemens is the world's leading provider of safe, secure and energy-efficient solutions for buildings and building infrastructure. As a service provider, system integrator and product supplier, our company offers building automation, HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning), fire safety as well as security systems. Integrated building and room automation systems can reduce energy consumption by up to 30 percent by controlling energy consumers such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning and lighting systems.
The Synco living home automation system saves energy and money. It allows you to control all kinds of devices in your home such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems and lights. The system provides a simple and comfortable way of using up to 30 percent less heating energy and lowering your CO2 emissions at the same time.
Performance contracting means paying for the cost of a building renewal project with utility bill savings that result from the installation of the new energy-efficient building system. Within the framework of energy-efficient contracting, Siemens determines and develops energy potentials by means of selective modernization and optimization. Not only does this lower operating costs, it also cuts CO2 emissions, increases property values and enhances operating safety. Energy-efficient buildings with guaranteed lower energy costs create virtually no cost for the customer because the savings pay for the investment. Since 1994, Siemens has completed more than 1,000 energy efficiency projects that have cut energy costs by more than $2 billion and reduced CO2 emissions by about 1.2 million, tons which is the equivalent of approximately 300,000 passenger cars driving 20,000 kilometers a year. The market potential of energy efficient buildings in the U.S. is estimated at more than $20 billion over the next 10 years.
More and more buildings can become prosumers, meaning they not only consume electricity but also produce it. An increasing number of buildings in industrialized countries are equipped with photovoltaic or small wind-energy systems that transform them from energy consumers to active participants in the energy market. Due to intelligent electronic electricity meters, improved demand estimates and active building energy management, buildings are becoming more and more important as prosumers.
U.S. industries are facing the combined challenge of substantially reducing CO2 emissions while simultaneously increasing energy efficiency. Sustainable success in both areas requires an all-encompassing and integrated concept. Siemens offers a wide range of energy-efficient industry products and systems for intelligent automation solutions in all areas of the manufacturing and process industry. They are based on our Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) portfolio, a comprehensive range of products and systems that enable the implementation of customized automation solutions across all industrial sectors.
A transparent energy balance is also necessary in order to ensure energy-efficient production. The Siemens energy management system B.Data creates this transparency by means of seamless energy and material balancing. It allows users to practice optimized and cost-effective energy management in the areas of controlling, planning and energy procurement.
Electric drives and motors consume up to 70 percent of the energy used in industrial plants. Energy-efficient motors and drives help conserve resources thanks to their improved efficiency. The use of frequency converters in unregulated drives makes it possible to cut energy consumption by up to 50 percent. A remote water pump can save roughly $275,000 per year. Siemens' portfolio offers the right solutions for all requirements, from synchronous and asynchronous servomotors to servo gear and linear and torque motors – all of which are characterized by high load tolerance, power density, compact design and a high degree of protection.
The SINAMICS drive family is just as suitable for machine manufacturers and plant builders as for the process industry and building technologies. From basic single-motor drives to coordinated drives to multi-axis and motion-control drives for sophisticated and demanding tasks, SINAMICS offers the optimal solution for each and every application. Sizer software from Siemens is an engineering tool for planning drive applications with SINAMICS. It compares two drive solutions in terms of their energy efficiency, enabling their savings potential to be determined. A conversion function makes it easy to modify drive configurations that have already been engineered and to determine their effects on energy consumption so that the best option can be selected: An automated calculation of alternative drives indicates the most favorable energy balance.
SIMAIN is the Siemens modular service portfolio for improving plant availability, energy efficiency as well as the reliability and productivity of industrial processes. Whether it is saving energy, optimizing processes or outsourcing services – SIMAIN helps choose components from the selection of modular industry services and create customized solutions. All of our customers can rely on the Siemens specialists' in-depth industry expertise as we advise and assist them in the development and implementation of individualized concepts and solutions that will improve their processes.
The Siemens environmental portfolio provides innovative solutions to help reduce industrial CO2 emissions. In 2012, products and solutions from the environmental portfolio enabled Siemens customers worldwide to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 332 million tons.
With energy-efficient water treatment and management, communities, companies and industries can save energy and costs. Siemens offers the largest selection of electrical and mechanical water and wastewater solutions in the industry. The SIWA Network Management System for example delivers an energy efficient solution for water supply. Through optimized efficiency of the pump energy consumption and operating costs can be reduced. Among others, Siemens has implemented cost-effective and energy-efficient solutions for the water business for the Water Conservation Plant in Visalia, California, and the wastewater treatment plant in Palmerton, Pennsylvania.
In Houston, Siemens upgraded over 10,000 standard vehicle and pedestrian signals to LED technology, resulting in up to 90% less energy use and reducing annual energy and maintenance costs for the city.
For long distance travel, the United States Conference of Mayors has published an economic impact study on high-speed rail. High-speed rail could soon transform the economies of American cities. The State of California plans to invest more than $2 billion to start a 220-mph high-speed rail line from Anaheim to Los Angeles and then move north to connect Southern California with the Bay Area. Siemens continues to network different systems in order to enable customers to transport people and goods as efficiently as possible. The Siemens Velaro is the world's fastest multiple-unit train in serial production. Its emissions are extremely low, bearing in mind its high transport capacity and low energy consumption. Showing high energy efficiency, the Velaro consumes only the equivalent of 0.14 gallons of gasoline per 100 miles per seat with a 100 percent load factor.
In May 2013 it was revealed that Siemens had completed production of the first electric locomotives for Amtrak, providing an energy efficient service for Northeast intercity rail passengers. The trains use a regenerative braking system that feeds energy back into the power grid.
The world's population is changing. Low birth rates combined with longer life expectancies worldwide has lead to aging societies with a greater demand of cost-effective medical services. To establish long-term energy-efficient healthcare systems and make healthcare affordable for everyone, we need technological innovations that improve the quality of medical care and simultaneously help save money.
The MAGNETOM Verio is a good example of a resource-efficient healthcare product that sets the standard for diagnostic imaging. MAGNETOM Verio is the world's first MRI system to combine 3 Tesla ultra-high field technology with a 70-centimeter bore and Total imaging matrix (Tim) technology. By combining these features, Siemens confirms its innovative leadership in the field of open MRI systems: The MAGNETOM Verio delivers clear images, top-quality diagnostics and exceptional patient comfort.

Warsaw : Michelin's recommendations
Capital of the present Polish Republic, since the fire that destroyed the royal castle of de Cracow in 1596, Warsaw (in Polish Warszawa, from the name of two lovers on whom a mediaeval fable confers the role of the city's founders) is located in the Centre-East of the country, in the heart of the Mazovian plain. This is crossed from South to North by the Vistula, the river from which a mermaid, now the city's emblem, is said to have appeared, convincing our two lovers of the destiny awaiting this place.

Watch the Olive Oil Poached Salmon Video Recipe to see how this dish comes together, step by step.
Peel and smash the garlic clove and a pinch of salt to a paste, either with a mortar and pestle or by mincing and then mashing it with the side of a chef's knife. Combine the garlic, garam masala, cumin, coriander, cayenne, and 1 tsp. salt in a small bowl. Add just enough of the oil to turn the spice mixture into a smooth paste, 1 to 2 tsp. Rub the spice paste all over the salmon and let it sit at room temperature for about an hour.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 225°F.
Measure the thickness of the fillets and pour the same depth of oil into a 10-inch straight-sided sauté pan. Heat over low heat until the oil reaches 120°F, 2 to 3 minutes. Put the salmon fillets in the oil in a single layer and immediately transfer the pan to the oven. Poach until a few small whitish droplets rise to the surface of the fillet, 25 minutes. Transfer the salmon to a wire rack to drain for a few minutes. Serve warm with lemon or lime wedges.

6/26/2013I modified this recipe to a version I could make, and my review is based on that. I didn't have cumin or coriander seeds, so I toasted the ground spices in a sauté pan just as you would the seeds. As soon as it started to smoke I took it off and poured it into the bowl. I also didn't poach in the olive oil, instead I grilled (after reading that this step wasn't necessary and used up/wasted quite a bit of olive oil). Overall this was a good, easy recipe. I will definitely make it again. I used all of the paste on a small piece of salmon and it was very salty. Next time around I will cut back on the amount of salt. More can always be added after the fact, but I'm pretty sure it will work with 1/2 tsp.
by chefjeff,
4/27/2011Delicious Salmon, is an understatement. I was impressed with the spice rub remaining on the salmon fillets, even after they baked in the slow oven, fully submerged. I did two fillets, and baked for the recommended 25 minutes. The salmon was succulent and the squeeze of citrus was the perfect addition. The Salmon was fully cooked through, and yet retained a very moist texture. I do believe that the next time, I will experiment with a 20 minute, versus 25 minute slow bake.
Keep those recipes a comin'
by mommasue,
9/7/2010Olive oil poaching is now my go-to method for cooking salmon. Another plus of the method--no smell of fish cooking in your kitchen! 5 stars for the method; 4 for the recipe as written.
I first tried this w/o the Indian spices, just kosher salt, garlic & pepper; thought it was great. Finally got a chance to do the Indian spices, and it just wasn't as delicious as I thought it would be.
As for the oil, I carefully strain through a coffee filter, and I re-use until it starts to smell of fish...generally 3-5 uses.
by dewatobay,
4/4/2010Delicious. I made salmon one night - strained oil as directed and cooked shrimp couple of nights later with same oil. There's just two of us - so I used only two cups of oil in a smaller pan.
by CindyJoyce,
3/22/2010I made the olive oil poached salmon this evening and it was fantastic.... so easy to do, the salmon was moist (but not oily like I expected) and flavorful. I have a question though... what is the safest way to get rid of all that used olive oil?
by karin1965,
3/19/2010A huge sucess with my friends. It was a shame to waste all that good olive oil though. The taste and texture of the fish was magnificent. Easy to make etc.
by pmsister,
3/15/2010I just made this tonight! This was such an easy and amazingly tasty recipe.

Beauty >Park Avenue Medical Spa
495 Main St, Armonk, NY | Directions 1050441.131817 -73.712186
Mon-Wed 9am-7pm, Fri 9am-7pm, Thu 9am-9pm
Laser Hair Removal – I have had yet another wonderful experience at Park Avenue Medical Spa! Growing up, I was always self conscious about the amount of hair I had on my arms. I had a constant debate with myself as to whether or not I should have it removed and with my wedding coming up, I decided to go for it. I had some worries because I'm SUPER sensitive and have an extremely low tolerance for pain but Angela was amazing.As always, she was so assuring. She talked me through the entire process, ie, length of the treatments, pain level, laser levels, expected results, etc. She was so gentle and even I had NO pain. In fact, I just made an appointment for laser hair removal for my legs and underarms. The results she spoke to me about seemed to be too good to but true, BUT I have only had 2 treatments and there is minimum hair growth. It was the best choice I made. I high recommend laser hair removal with Angela to anyone who wants results!!
Amazing results in just 1 hour – I have been a client of Park Avenue Medical Spa for 3 years. The staff is kind and delightful. They offer state of the art procedures and technology. I love coming to Park Avenue Medical Spa because my skin always looks its best and I receive so many compliments.
Best Skin treatments ever! – I have been going to Park Avenue for almost 5 years now. I know that is the to go place when I have a blemish or my skin is acting out. I have many acne scars and Dr. Tchelebi and staff was able to make them barely noticeable with different peels and laser treatments. My body is almost hair free now. They have a great machine that lasers the hairs right off.
The staff is nothing but nice and knowledgeable and the whole place makes me feel relaxed. Oh I cannot forget the amazing massages! Janice can take any knot out of your body!
Best in Westchester! – I highly recommend this spa for the relaxing ambiance, professional staff and great results.
The treatments I have had at Park Ave Medical Spa have been the most effective and lasting. Dr. Tchelebi carefully considers how my delicate skin will react to the treatments before making recommendations. She did filler injections on my last visit. Great results and no bruising!
Best MediSpa in NY. My skin never looked so good! – I've been a client at Park Avenue Medical Spa in Armonk, NY for over 5 years. In my opinion it is the best medical spa in NY and totally worth money spent.
Dr. Tchelebi meets with every new client to work out the best skin care regimen and discuss various procedures available at the spa. She always spends a good amount of time with me carefully listening to all of my skin related concerns and needs. I never feel rushed at Park Avenue.
Dr. Tchelebi is amazing with injections! I'm very satisfied with my Botox and Juvi and have done it numerous times over the years. Dr. Tchelebi also suggested Photofacials for me that worked beautifully. It took the pigment out of my skin and minimized my pores.
I get a facial at Park Avenue once a month with Lana.
Lana is a wonderful esthentician - highly educated and professional. I've had great results with Lana by doing various peels, laser treatments, microderms. I'm getting a lot of compliments on my skin since i started going to Park Avenue Spa in Armonk. Thank you, Dr. Tchelebi! Thank you, Lana!
Great spa, great results! – I have gone to Dr. Tchelebi for Botox and several other cosmetic procedures. Her medical and aesthetic expertise have always exceeded my expectations.
Dr. Tchelebi is knowledgeable, truly concerned about what each individual is looking to achieve, and knows how to get the best results.
She is constantly researching the best products and techniques. Dr. Tchelebi has the precise technical control and aesthetic judgment needed to create a beautiful rejuvenated appearance for her patients. I am extremely pleased with my very natural looking results.
Truly amazing experience – Both my daughter and I have been going to this spa for several years. We moved to Manhattan and yet we keep driving up to Armonk - it is truly worthwhile. Not only is the ambiance amazing and the staff extremely knowledgeable of the latest European discoveries in skin care, but the doctor is one of the most skilled professionals I have ever come across. She takes the time to review all possible treatments and always suggests the best options. She treated my daughter's acne successfully when several top Manhattan dermatologists failed. All the procedures I have had , have worked extremely well, without exception. I would recommend the spa without hesitation!
Horrible experience – A couple of years ago I had botox done here and it did not work and I had to go back and have it done again. Well, I stopped going to Park Ave and had botox done at a different in CT spa twice - and both times it worked like a charm. Flash forward to now and I, stupid me, went back to Park Avenue Med Spa for botox - having forgotten what happened a couple of years ago. Forgot until the botox did not work again this time!!! But this time I went back - to have the doctor fix it - and she was INCREDIBLY rude. It was bizarre - she wanted me to pay again and her logic was that it didn't work the first time - so I should pay again. Really, really unprofessional. Well, she ended up giving the botox again - and AGAIN IT DID NOT WORK.
She is diluting the botox too much! Or she does not know her way around needles, which is scary, because that is all she does.
Classy, upscale, and Professional – This is the best Spa I have ever went to, like heaven. The decor and ambiance are beautiful. The aromatherapy will really make you feel so relaxed as well as the beautiful flowers they have.
I have had so many services done here. Facials, massage, waxing, velasmooth, etc. All the staff are highly classy and professional. They put you at ease and are happy to meet your needs. Management are quick to correct any problems and attend to your needs right away.
They make you feel like a Goddess
I moved back to Manhattan but I may drive back here on the weekends. Love it!

When asked to recall his favorite play of Florida's 11-1 season, Driskel did not choose his 70-yard touchdown burst to seal the Gators' win at Vanderbilt or his spectacular, zig-zagging 31-yard run on a bad ankle at Florida State.
Instead, Driskel went with a 23-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Reed to during Florida's 37-20 win at Tennessee. On the play, Driskel was under pressure, but threw the ball across his body and on the money to his closely guarded tight end to give the Gators a 27-20 lead.
"I took a couple of hits and hit him in a good spot," Driskel recalled.
Driskel's first season as a starter was a mixed bag - at times a revelation and other times a reality check.
The 19-year-old from Oviedo entered bowl practices last week looking to build on the positives and continue to develop as a quarterback, with an eye on 2013.
It would be easy for Driskel to look back to his last game - Florida's 37-26 regular season-ending rout at Florida State - and think everything is right on schedule.Driskel and the Gators' much-maligned offense - ranked No. 102 in the nation entering the game - dominated the nation's top-ranked defense to earn No. 3 Florida a spot in the Jan. 2 Sugar Bowl against Louisville.
"When you put up 37 points against a team like that," Driskel said of FSU, "and you run all over them, especially in the second half, that's a great deal of confidence for us."
Driskel also realizes the Gators finished last in the SEC in passing and opponents sacked him 33 times.
In season, it is difficult for a player to step back and evaluate himself. But in the time off after the FSU win on Nov. 24, Driskel allowed his sprained right ankle tohealwhile he took stock of his season.
"During the season, it's all gameplan," he said on Tuesday. "You're looking at the other team and not yourself. So this week and last week, when we started, definitely has given us time to look at mechanics, go back to little things, instead of looking at the other team."
Driskel's conclusions?
"Just knowing when to throw the ball away," he said, "knowing when not to take a sack and knowing that you live to play the next play and not always having to force something."
Coach Will Muschamp views Florida's 15 pre-bowl practices as a chance for his younger players to improve and continue to learn the system.On Monday, Muschamp said, cornerback Louchiez Purifoy foreshadowed his breakout sophomore season during bowl practices prior to the Gator Bowl.
Driskel also broke out in 2012, but not until a long quarterback competition with Jacoby Brissett ended during the season's first week. With the starting job now firmly in hand, Driskel is ready to take the next step - possibly this month.
"Any time you have practices where you're looking at yourself rather than an opponent you have time to improve," he said. "I think I've been improving all year long, but these extra practices really have helped."
